Of course Zhu Yuanzhang did not really want to give Zhu Ying the entire official position.
What kind of abilities are worthy of our eldest grandson?
Only the emperor can do that.
It's just this kind of temptation that makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little resentful that iron is ineffective.
But for now, there is nothing we can do about it.
'When the mausoleum is confirmed, I will ask you to get up with us every day and go to the morning.'
Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly in his heart.
As for whether another corpse would be found when the tomb was excavated, this was not within the scope of Zhu Yuanzhang's consideration.
He was absolutely certain that the eldest grandson in front of him was his own eldest grandson.
There are no two identical grandsons in this world.
Even if twins look 99% alike, they will be able to tell them apart as long as they live together for a period of time.
No matter how similar the faces are, the eyes will be different.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was sure that Zhu Ying was his eldest grandson at the first sight.
In addition to the feeling of blood connection, there is also the constant companionship for eight years.
Otherwise, given Zhu Yuanzhang’s jealous and suspicious character.
Until things come to light, he will never have too much contact with Zhu Ying.
And now, even if the tomb is dug open, there really is still a corpse in the coffin inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang would only wonder who was setting up the conspiracy secretly.
At present, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to leave directly after receiving Zhu Ying's fundamental countermeasures to solve the famine.
With just a slight movement of his body, he stayed again.
"Dasun, what do you think of our Ming Dynasty's treasures?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was of course very aware of the issue of the depreciation of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.
But looking at the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes helplessly, there is no way.
Perhaps he could force the entire capital to trade with Ming treasure notes, but once these treasure notes reached the local area, they would be out of reach.
Since the issuance of Ming Dynasty banknotes, the serious depreciation has already made Zhu Yuanzhang a little uneasy.
But this kind of monetary economic system was not Zhu Yuanzhang's strong suit.
After thinking of many ways, and even promulgating systems to solve this problem, it still cannot delay the depreciation of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes could not be printed casually, but with the poor financial performance of the national treasury, it was impossible not to print them, and he fell into an endless cycle.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even a little worried, fearing that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes would be completely reduced to a piece of waste paper after many years.
The lessons learned from the Meng Yuan Dynasty were right in front of him, and Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the Ming Dynasty Baochao would make the same mistake again.
Zhu Yuanzhang's worries were obviously correct. The Ming Dynasty's banknotes lasted for more than a hundred years, but due to excessive issuance of banknotes, inflation and public dissatisfaction boiled over, and they were abolished during the Zhengde period.
"Da Ming Bao Banknote? It's very good, very good, very convenient." Zhu Ying said casually.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment, and then asked helplessly: "We are not asking you to praise it. As a businessman, you must be very familiar with treasure notes."
"You can help us think about it, why are the people of Ming Dynasty increasingly disowning this treasure?"
Zhu Ying heard this and said, "It would be strange if I recognized him."
"What does this mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Be it Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, gold or silver, they have no value in themselves and cannot be used as food. The reason why they can be traded is the trust placed in them."
"The trust in Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes comes from the Ming Dynasty officials, and gold and silver themselves are more long-term."
Zhu Ying explained.
"What Sun is saying is that it's because the people don't trust the government?" Zhu Yuanzhang said after thinking.
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and replied: "You can put it this way."
"Compared with gold and silver, Ming Dynasty banknotes are more convenient and easier to carry, but they are also easier to damage."
"The government does not issue treasure banknotes but only recycle them, which leads to a loss."
"The second thing is the reserve fund."
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted: "What does reserve mean?"
Zhu Ying explained: "The so-called reserve fund means that as much gold and silver as there is in the treasury, the number of treasure banknotes will be printed. The difference between the two cannot be too large."
"Money created out of thin air will cause the value of treasure banknotes to continue to decline. The government only allows gold and silver to be exchanged for treasure banknotes, but cannot exchange treasure banknotes for gold and silver, which has caused this problem."
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy when he heard this.
The remaining military expenses of the Ming Dynasty's campaign against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including the salaries of ministers, were all borne by Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. If these treasure banknotes could be exchanged for gold and silver, how could there be so much silver in the treasury.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying smiled, took a tea cup from the table, filled the cup with tea and said.
"If this cup is Ming Dynasty, the water in the cup is all the money of Ming Dynasty."
Then, Zhu Ying added water to the tea cup, letting all the tea overflow.
Then he said: "The Ming Dynasty government continued to print treasure banknotes, just like constantly adding water to this tea cup."
"Then who will be responsible for these overflowing Ming Dynasty treasures?"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "What countermeasures are there?"
"Of course there is, and there are good and bad strategies." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
"Tell me your next move." Zhu Yuanzhang paused and asked.
"The next best option is to expand territory, seize materials from other countries, stabilize domestic prices, or let other countries bear the overflow of Ming Dynasty treasure money."
"However, this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Once defeated, it will make things worse."
Hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully: "How can such a small country have anything valuable?"
"The army is moving, and there is tons of food and fodder. Even if we knock it down, what's the use? It's just a waste of people and money."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled faintly and said: "The old man doesn't know something now. Let's not talk about other things. It is the Japanese country. The old man knows that there is gold and silver everywhere."
Hearing this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang believe it? He said bluntly: "Master Sun, don't try to trick us. How can there be mountains of gold and silver in such a barbaric land?"
"If it is true, why did those Japanese pirates invade our coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Ying heard this and explained: "That's because the old man has lived in the Central Plains for a long time and is not too careful about overseas affairs."
"Today's Japanese country is in chaos and war. How can it be possible to explore the silver mines? Those who know it can't publicize it."
"But a few days ago, news came that the Japanese country is almost unification."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Even if it is such a secret thing, how did you know about it?"
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Of course I got it from overseas merchants. I guess the old man should know the origin of my snowflake salt."
"Snowflake salt is not only sold to the Ming Dynasty, but also to overseas countries, including the Japanese country."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was silent for a while, but did not mention the Japanese affairs again.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang hated the Japanese country very much.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to various countries, and other small countries obeyed obediently. Only Japan not only refused to surrender, but also directly killed the envoys he sent.
The two countries were at war and did not kill the envoys. Such behavior made Zhu Yuanzhang furious at the time.
It was about to send troops to attack the Japanese country, but finally stopped due to Liu Bowen's dissuasion.
But this hatred will never disappear.
Even after hearing that there was a large amount of silver in Japan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately express his position.
In today's Ming Dynasty, recuperation and recuperation are naturally more important, and it is not appropriate to start a war rashly.
After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What is the best strategy that the great sun said?"
